The Plot :Bob and Max, two escapees from a shipwreck, are on a desert island. They are gigolos in ordinary life and here they meet Aude, a lady companion who is still a virgin. Life together is difficult. The combination of professional rivalry between the two men and contact with a woman who is not a business client creates a heavy, silent atmosphere. Gradually tongues loosen up and humour and tenderness take over. Anca Visdei and Maria Ducceschi put paid to all the taboos and demonstrate the value of love with a capital ‘L’.
